Good Afternoon Bloggers,

They managed very well and became self sufficient and didn’t need to go to the town for anything at all.
His
brothers often visited him, without the knowledge of their father.
One
day, unexpectedly, FF called at his house and sat in a chair looking very
dejected.
“Father
what is wrong?” Brucie asked.
“My
son I have done you wrong and now I have lost you forever. I am so proud of you
that you stood on your own two feet and made a positive move to protect the
woman you love.”
Brucie
replied, “Father I will always look up to you and never meant to do wrong by
you but, I have to follow my heart!”
FF
stood up and boldly said, “I am going to get my family back together and I am
humbly asking you for your help!”
“What
are you proposing to do father?” asked Brucie.
“I
am going to find Drake and Donnella. Her mother has not stopped crying since
she left and I want to tell her that I am going to rescue her daughter.”
FF looked
Brucie in the eye and asked him, “Will you be by my side son?”
“Do
I have a choice?” replied Brucie.
“Of
course you do son, but I am getting old and want to make good with my family. I
could ask one of your other brothers, but I need to leave someone in charge of
the town whilst I go on this journey.”
“Ok
I will come with you,” said Brucie, “So long as Athena can join us as well.”
“Is
that wise, it could be treacherous!” said FF. Athena stood up and said,
“If
a couple of chickens can make it, I am quite sure I can!”
“That’s
agreed then” said FF. “We leave in the morning, gather what you think you will
need. I have no idea how long it will take or how far it is, or even if they
are still alive. But we must try!”
“See
you in the morning!” said Brucie, as his father left.
FF
went straight to his other sons to explain where he was going and to leave them
in charge of the town and the tribe.
He
also went to Radella; he was a wise man and asked his advice about going above
ground and what he could expect.
Radella
was not only a sage but he could see into the future. Radella said “Sit down my friend, I will read
your path.”
Radella
sat opposite FF at a small table in his dwelling; he had four fire flies in his
abode. This was more than most of the town folk, but he was very old and his
sight was dim. Radella started talking; “I can see both happiness and danger
befall you. First of all, I see a long journey ahead of you, a little danger
but nothing you cannot handle. Further on I see great happiness and tears of
joy for you. But then, be aware, a very dark cloud descends upon you
and.......” Radella falls off his chair and FF cannot wake him.
“Radella!
Radella! What do you see?” shouted FF. He could not wake the old sage. He
seemed to have gone into some kind of trance.
FF
picked him up and carried him to his bed. FF was very worried about the
journey. But who could he tell; if he told his sons they would tell him not to
go. If he told Brucie, he probably wouldn’t go with him.
The
next morning, Athena and Brucie were ready when he got there. Brucie said,” I
have been thinking about this journey during the night and I think if we follow
the path the chickens took out of town to the ground above, we should be on the
right path to finding Drake and Donella.”
“Brilliant!”
said FF. The journey began....Polly x:
